Andrew Garfield's new historical drama revealed as Robin Hood origin film
'The Uprising' has been revealed to be a Robin Hood movie 🏹 Starring Andrew Garfield Releasing in theaters September 11
T Kennedy30No Robin Hood movie will ever live up to Disney's.
Joe Weinmunson15They spent over $100 million on a movie and deliberately conflated Wat Tyler with Robin Hood?! Never spending money on that nonsense
Ryan11I cannot emphasize how disappointing this is. It was angling to be a common man drama. I hope it is verrrrry loosely based and not Garfield screaming about being Robinhood. The trailer would suggest it's a loose adaptation hopefully
Steve Will Shan9YES! MORE ROBIN HOOD! CAN'T GET ENOUGH! THE STORY NEEDS TO BE RE-TOLD MORE THAN TWICE A YEAR!!! SAME WITH KING ARTHUR! CREATIVITY THRIVES!!! ... -_-
Cymbal Banging Monkey9Is it gonna be like at the end of The Dark Knight Rises where that lady calls Joseph Gordon Levitt "Robin" and he could have just been some other guy, he didn't need to be Robin
gummitch (aka gummitch_uk)8That makes NO sense whatsoever. It's *definitely* a Peasant's Revolt movie. Richard II is the monarch. Cosmo Jarvis is playing Wat Tyler. All of which is over 150 years AFTER the death of King John. I was looking forward to this movie, but this kind of bullshit makes me LESS likely to go.
Madeley15Massively annoyed that I thought we were getting a Wat Tyler movie and instead we're getting another "Robin Hood, but grimly covered in muck and shit for some reason" movie.
Angus Main11Andrew Garfield must team up with Kevin Costner, Russell Crowe, Cary Elwes, Taron Egerton, to fight The Sheriff of Nottingham across the multiverse.
Jalle 🖤7Död åt medeltidsfilmer där allt är grått och färglöst och miserabelt 🖕
Chris Farnell7I will say though, with apologies to Andrew Garfield, that his casting makes a lot more sense now that we know he's playing an aristo dressed up as a peasant.
Danny Palmer6But, but... among many other things, that child King in the trailer was clearly Richard II, who is a) not King John and b) ruled over 150 years after King John.
Alex Shephard5I'm gonna go outside and light myself on fire. What are we doing to our beautiful queens (Paul Greengrass)
GPT-Ern Malley3They're gonna redub this thing like it's the original Godzilla movie
Jack 🏳️🌈3I actually deeply love the idea of major plotlines in movies being a total secret until they're about to launch. Ideally they shouldn't have mentioned this at all until the film was out
Matt Holland Author Dot Com3So my hopes for a Wat Tyler Peasant Rebellion movie have been shot in the face during a peace negotiation yet again (spoilers). Honestly, am I gonna have to write this? Because I will
Becky3But I wanted a Wat Tyler movie...
listen, I only want Robin Hood if it's properly weird, with horned guys in the woods, Richard O'Brien getting up to weird shit in a castle, the sense of the land giving us a hero, & Robin is an ethereally beautiful man with long hair Basically yes Robin of Sherwood is peak.
Mark Dowling5Ahem Clannad on the soundtrack too pls youtube.com/shorts/uTkCB...
lizmck4Robin of Sherwood with Michael Praed was peak. Was not the same when Jason Connery stepped in. Also agree with the other posts about the Clannad soundtrack.
Neil Webber2And a properly evil Richard Lionheart, none of this ooh he was a nice king and if your sheriff isn’t chewing the so much scenery you have to have carpenters on standby it’s not worth it. Ooh, and Brabazons and Templars and Jewish mysticism and lepers and crazy sorcerers Robin of Sherwood was peak
Liz King2I tend to claim Cadfael as a major influence, but really, this was the thing. ‘The Swords of Wayland’…
sophiacollins.bsky.social1Yes. The current attempts are all mud, swords, and bad lighting. Gritty, male gaze Robin Hood. Robin of Sherwood was female gaze Robin Hood.
John Hood1I'll pass this on to my dad! 😉
The news that we are getting yet another Robin Hood movie reminds me of my continuing surprise we haven’t yet got an announced “MCU-style” Arthurian cinematic universe advertised as inspired by game of thrones which gets cancelled after the underwhelming performance of its Sword in the Stone kickoff
Nute7Exactly this type of thing! With a post credits scene in which he wakes after another night of debauchery to find Merlin in his quarters inviting him to be part of a bigger universe
Daniel Gilmore6Kinda already happened! Ritchie wanted to do six Arthur films but the first one was a flop. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Ar...
GPT-Ern Malley6Do a Lancelot film of him screwing his way through half of France before fleeing to Britain lest an the angry husbands get their hands on him
Daniel5'GALAHAD will return in ... Arthur: Ragnarok'
Joel4Did you catch that Pathé was trying to set up a Three Musketeers Cinematic Universe a few years back
Mike Goodman3This gave me a nice fifteen second walk of wanting to make a Marion Zimmer Bradley source material joke then remember that oh ribht she’s BAD bad and then being sad about it.
The two most beloved depictions of Robin Hood are a technicolor bonanza from the 1930s and a literal cartoon, but we're still being subjected to stuff like this again and again.
RM2We’ve already achieved peak Robin Hood. We can move on.
watchutalkinboutwillis1The weirdest thing about Ridley Scott's Robin Hood is that it appeared to be attempting some sort of bizarre neoliberal reframing of "steal from the rich to give to the poor" as "the peasants are suffering because the Barons pay too much tax to the King."
Mike O.1what the public truly demands is a visionary new spin on the story of Tarzan
